The Melbourne Cup is a race built on endeavour, endurance and emotion, but few Cups have been influenced by the events that surrounded Media Puzzle's win in 2002 with jockey Damien Oliver on his back.

The Cup is a combination of wonderful stories - the tragedy that has hit generations of Oliver's family; the love of an Irishman for a race on the other side of the world; and the burning but fruitless quest of an oil rich sheikh to win Australia's greatest race. All overwhelmed by the genius of a jockey and his capacity to win for his brother. The Cup is now a major motion picture directed by Simon Wincer, and featuring popular Australian actor/comedian Stephen Curry as Damien Oliver.

All of which were overwhelmed by the genius of a jockey and his capacity to win, for his brother.

The movie is due for release in October. -- O'Keefe, Eric
